Trump said just days ago that he would let his attorney general decide if Mueller should testify
President Trump said Sunday that special counsel Robert Mueller should not testify before Congress — reversing his position from days ago, when he said he’d defer to Attorney General William Barr. Across two tweets, Mr. Trump wrote, „why would the Democrats in Congress now need Robert Mueller…to testify. Are they looking for a redo because they hated seeing the strong NO COLLUSION conclusion?“
Mr. Trump added, „Bob Mueller should not testify. No redos for the Dems!“
Mr. Trump’s tweet came soon after Democratic Rep. David Cicilline, who sits on the House Judiciary Committee, announced that he is working on arranging Mueller’s testimony. The Rhode Island congressman said he is hoping to bring Mueller in on May 15, but a date hasn’t been confirmed.
Mr. Trump said last week that he would let Barr decide on Mueller’s testimony. During Barr’s own testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee last Wednesday, the attorney general said he had „no objection“ to letting Mueller testify.
